Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 1 large Carrot
- 1 medium Bell pepper
- 1 small Zucchini
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Remove the green leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into florets. Place the florets in a food processor and pulse until the cauliflower resembles rice-size granules. Be careful not to over-process.
Peel the carrot and chop it into small cubes. Chop the bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into small, even-sized pieces. Mince the garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped carrot, bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
Stir in the riced cauliflower, ensuring it is well mixed with the other vegetables. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the cauliflower is tender.
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Drizzle the lemon juice over the rice and mix well. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot as a side dish or a light main course. Enjoy your delicious and healthy Paleo Rice with Mixed Vegetables!
